Description: |
Bill Kirchen and Too Much Fun Concert Live Performance at The YMCA Boulton Center for the Performing Arts of the Great South Bay YMCA.
Justly famous for his indelible Telecaster sound on "Hot Rod Lincoln" his 1972 Top 10 hit with Commander Cody, Kirchen has been everywhere since he first plugged in during the mid-’60s: he was a founding member of the legendary Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, he's released eight critically acclaimed solo albums, he's toured internationally with Nick Lowe and has performed with the likes of Doug Sahm, Gene Vincent, Elvis Costello, Dan Hicks, Emmylou Harris and Link Wray. Each step of the way, he's made a deep impression with his singular six-string virtuosity. As the Washington Post's Mike Joyce put it, "The folks who make Fender Telecasters ought to stop what they’re doing and cut Bill Kirchen a fat check."
On the title song of Hammer of the Honky Tonk Gods, Kirchen wrote of his trusty Tele that it was “born at the junction of form and function" but he could've just as accurately been referring to himself—if he wasn't so damn humble, that is. "I'm really thrilled with the album, man, because for Proper to have that much interest in me to put this out, I mean, honestly, at this point in my life it's not something I can take for granted" Kirchen reflects. "It's been 40 years since I’ve been fulltime at this, and I'm still not sure if I have a career, but I know I have a job". |
